Surprise!!! Sarah Barlow

First I'd like to say that I'm sorry for the long wait but It's finally here so I hope you enjoy!





Sarah is finally 19. I mean we've been waiting for like a whole year! So she's done it and we choose to suprise her with a party. Pretty much all the cool people decided to show and even a few celebrities.... Here's the non-slideshow (Because I don't have showit yet).




























































































































































































































































































Happy Birthday Sarah!

My Day Job

Ok so I've worked for this company for five years now..... Well technically it will be five years on the 16 but who's counting??? Right. Anyway so yah it's been so long that they gave me this......




So "let me splane....... No no there is to much, let me sum-up" I'm told that this watch is "really nice". I don't know what others think about it but I like it. It's perfect for this fad that I'm going through that involves buying watches...... Don't ask. {What am I talking about???} Back to "train of thought". Um..... Oh yeah! Nice watch. Well I like it because it signifies that I've been with the company for five years but it also has the logo of the mother company (Beldon Roofing) with a leaf (Leaf Guard) all in one logo with a diamond. Now this is a big deal for me because this is officially my first diamond. I know what you are thinking...... Well, actually I don't know what you are thinking but, I'd like to...... Maybe? You may be thinking you've never worn a real diamond before???? The answer is simply, no I've never worn a real diamond before but, now that I have one I can say that I have. I'll mostly wear it for dress occasions although, it's kinda cheesy that it's a company watch but, who cares a diamonds a diamond. Right?

Anyway it's really late (you may be able to tell through my writing) and in the last two days I worked twenty-seven and a half hours so I'm really tired. Good night. ;-)

DA TASTE

just some shots of buckingham fountain.


The taste of Chicago ended yesterday. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a huge festival of food held downtown in Grant Park. Tons of food vendors from around the city come and show-off their stuff. This as you can imagine attracts tons of people. I think on average there is about 1 million people that visit each day! They also have bands come and play in the various bandshells, for instance Train was there the day I went. It's totally the biggest event of the year for Chicago. The only downside is the price of the food. It costs seven dollars for eleven tickets and a combo (Italian beef with an Italian sausage in it) costs nine tickets so as you can see it's not exactly cheap, but it's totally worth it!

The people I took to the taste were, my sister, my cousin and one of their friends. It was a blast!

(from left to right) Ange (their friend), Tor (my cousin) and Cynth (my sister). We did A little photo shoot (kinda).

Now it's Cynth, Ange and Tor

Crankin' the Gears

(me and Phil Long at the Chicago Fire's first game in their new stadium. Yes, I have a Mohawk ;-)

(and this is at the second Fire game in the new stadium. That's my friend Joe Payne in the background)


So since I'm kinda a Photographer....... When should I start and when I do, what should I name my photography company?

I only ask because I'm lost...... I've only taken pictures for friends and I wouldn't think of charging them for my work but at the same time I ain't makin' no funds. You know what I mean? This is my dilemma. Any thoughts???? And since I'm not making any money doing it (for myself that is) I didn't see any reason to start a business. So when should I start the business?

I know this is a lame post but I want to know what you think.
